Realogy Holdings Corp. has released its 2021 edition of the Realogy Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report. In it, the company reflects on the power of homeownership and impact of its businesses in paving a path for progress. This year’s report highlights the ways Realogy—supported by its employees, franchise owners, and affiliated agents—champions progress for various communities, the company stated.
“At Realogy, our business helps people realize their future, one front door at a time. The home sale transaction truly moves the world-changing communities, creating stability, and building a foundation of opportunity for generations to come,” said Ryan Schneider, Realogy’s president and chief executive officer, in a press release. “We have long recognized our role as a change-maker not only for our customers but also for the employees, affiliated brokers and agents, and communities we serve. Over the years, we have paved a path for progress that we continue to expand and enhance.”
Notable highlights:
- Integrity: For 10 consecutive years, Realogy has been recognized as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies® by Ethisphere Institute for its commitment to integrity. With a decade of recognition, Realogy joins a special group that includes fewer than 25 percent of total honorees.
- Culture: Realogy continued to build upon its culture of inclusion through diversity and inclusion committees across the enterprise and its eight diverse Employee Resource Groups. In 2021, the company launched Real Career Connections, a new mentorship program for employees of color; established commitments to attract and retain diverse talent; and identified new opportunities to advance equity and inclusion in a hybrid culture.
- Empowering Diversity: The Company expanded its Inclusive Ownership Program, which encourages entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities to franchise with one of Realogy’s brands via financial investment and mentorship support, and What Moves Her, an initiative designed to inspire more women real estate professionals.
- Wellness: In 2021 Realogy increased its focus on supporting and educating employees about work-life harmony as it embraced a virtual and hybrid working dynamic and was awarded the 2021 Cigna Well-being Award for having an Outstanding Culture of Well-being
- Environment: Realogy is conscious of its environmental impact and believes there are positive environmental benefits to some of its recent business moves, such as the transformation of Realogy’s Madison, N.J., office to an open-plan innovation hub, shifting to remote work for approximately half of its employees, and the increased digitization of elements of the home sale transaction for affiliated agents and brokers.
